The minutes from the November 28, 2017, Public Safety Committee meeting were approved. The first topic on the agenda was Police Pursuit Policy and the Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver. David Pienta, with the PursuitSAFETY organization participating by conference call from a remote location, provided several recommendation and consideration points from his review of the draft Police Department pursuit policies. o Goal is an objective rather than subjective policy. o Draft policy provides some guidelines, but police supervisors would still be making “subjective” decisions on a pursuit. o No stated mandate for police officer to clear traffic control devices safely. o No stated mandate for police officer to remain on scene if involved in an accident during a pursuit. o Police officer should render aid when an accident occurs. o Guidance should be included on tactical de-escalation for the conclusion of a felony vehicle stop.

  • Continuous Improvement Project: Filter Manufacturing Department at BAT in Heidelberg
    BPJ 410 – Final Report Continuous Improvement Project: Filter Manufacturing Department at BAT in Heidelberg Benito Decina s28345186 Executive Summary Production industries are subject to the ebb and flow of demand and supply fluctuations, with an increase in a product’s demand driving up the supplier’s production. At BAT’s factory in Heidelberg, the Filter Manufacturing Department is currently operating at nothing more than 75% efficiency, and is the bottleneck in BAT’s production process. If BAT plans to keep up with the increase in consumer demand, improvement is needed. To achieve a more acceptable production efficiency of about 85 to 95%, blockages hindering filter supply need to be minimised, changeover times reduced, and waste production needs to be kept to a minimal. The only way to achieve this objective would be to analyse the current layout, identify its flaws and areas of improvement, and then implement a new layout that would improve the department’s performance and complement future objectives. With the aid of simulation models, information is retrieved to determine the extent of improvements the proposed layout will be able to provide. The freed up floor space created by the proposed layout design will also be looked at to determine its best possible use. The information gathered from the simulations as well as the available floor space will provide a clear indication of the viability of the proposed layout. i Table of Contents 1.

  • Smoking and Quitting Behaviour in Lockdown South Africa
    SMOKING AND QUITTING BEHAVIOUR IN LOCKDOWN SOUTH AFRICA: RESULTS FROM A SECOND SURVEY Professor Corné van Walbeek Samantha Filby Kirsten van der Zee 21 July 2020 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is based on the results of an online survey, conducted between 4 June and 19 June 2020. The study was conducted by the Research Unit on the Economics of Excisable Products (REEP), an independent research unit based at the University of Cape Town. It was funded by the African Capacity Building Foundation, which in turn is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This report follows on from our first report entitled “Lighting up the illicit cigarette market: Smokers’ responses to the cigarette sales ban in South Africa”, which was published on 15 May 2020. That report was based on an online survey conducted between 29 April and 11 May 2020. When the second survey was conducted, the ban on the sales of cigarettes had been extended, even as the country had moved from lockdown Level 4 to Level 3. The questionnaire was distributed on Twitter, Change.org (a petition site) and Moya (a data-free platform). The survey yielded 23 631 usable responses. In contrast to the first study, we did not weigh the data, because the sampling methodology (i.e. online survey) made it impossible to reach the poorer segments of society. We thus do not claim that the data is nationally representative; we report on the characteristics of the sample, not the South African smoking population. In the report we often report the findings by race and gender, because smoking behaviour in South Africa has very pronounced race-gender differences.
